We shot tons of great footage and developed creative ways to capture these elements so that they could be used in post. These elements are great for action films and even motion graphics."
"This was some fun shooting as it involved some more action oriented scenes than much of the rest of the film. We had a great location to use as well thanks to the generosity of a local business that allowed us to film on their property after our first location fell through. In the end we realized why God caused that first location to fall through as this one worked out MUCH better."

I've always been told that a Mac doesn't need defragmenting because it does it all for you. I've changed my mind however after reading this article...
"OS X does a great job at minimizing file fragmentation by rewriting files in contiguous space when a file is opened, is under 20MB and contains more than eight fragments. This works quite well to prevent heavy file fragmentation, but what it doesn’t prevent is free space fragmentation."
I did some more researching about programs to use and who uses them, come to find out that a lot of people degrag their Macs including "the Apple folks" in CA!
Click Here to read the full article I mentioned above. It covers more info about defragmenting a Mac and lists several programs you can use. The program I ended up using is iDefrag ($30) I've been really happy with how well and fast it has worked!

In 2004, 2005 and 2006 Vision Forum produced a DVD set of some of the best films from the year's film festival! It was usually 4 DVDs for about $45 and was a great way to take home a great collection of Christian movies. Except there was one problem! None of the money made from the DVD sets went to the filmmakers who made the movies.
NOW INTRODUCING: "RE:collection 2007"
3 DVDs for $29.95 - Click Here for a list of the films included!
The best part about this collection is that the profits are distributed to the filmmakers! "The royalty is calculated based on the length of the film and the final rank that the film achieved in the SAICFF competition. This is a very fare arrangement because higher ranked films will receive more and longer films will receive more."
This DVD set has been put together by John Vines and members from Dallas Christian Filmmakers. Visit ChristianShortFilms.com for more info about "RE:collection 2007."
